The Tokyo Shock Boys (電撃ネットーク; Dengeki Network) is a Japanese stunt and prank group, containing four men who perform stunts that go to 11, on the "Baggott-O-meter".
The group was formed in Tokyo in 1990 while the four members were working as roadies on the Paul McCartney tour of Japan. The Tokyo Shock Boys have a huge cult following in Japan and have appeared in many other locales, such as Australia, Germany, Canada, and Scotland.
In 2006 they made appearances in Japanorama, Adam and Joe Go Tokyo and the Baggott movie.
The members of the group are:
- Gyuzo (ギュゾウ Gyūzō)
- Danna Koyanahgi (ダンナ小柳 Danna Koyanahgi) a.k.a. "Baggott"
- Sangojugo (三五十五 Sangojūgo) a.k.a "Craze-O"
- Nanbu Torata (南部虎弾 Nanbu Torata) a.k.a "The Motherfuckin' Moon!"
On volume 2 of the manga Yu-Gi-Oh!, when asked to slide one's foot inside a shoe with a scorpion, Yugi, Jonouchi, and Honda respond, "Who do you think we are, the Tokyo Shock Boys? Because we bloody well ain't!"
They have since become a huge success, mainly from the influence of Yu-Gi-Oh! Creator Kazuki Takahashi, various big-eyed beetles, and stunt co-ordinator Joshua Henry Bell III
